Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
1ARI, da me Juj akan paieki mon me tei kan de da kadepan jirkomjaij?
2Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.
2O me toto, ni jon karoj; iet kaieu: Majan en Kot akan kanikid on irail.
3What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?
3A ma akai jopojon a pil menda? Pwe ar jopojon pan kak kawela kalanan en Kot?
4Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”
4O jo! Pwe Kot udan melel, a aramaj karoj me likam duen a intinidier: Ir eta me pun ni ar majan akan, o komui pan kotin poedi ni ar pakadeikada.
5But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.
5A ma atail japun kaindinda pun en Kot, da me kitail en inda? Dadue, Kot me pil japun, pweki a kotin onion kida? I kin lokaia ni tiak en aramaj.
6Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?
6O jo! Pwe ma iduen, Kot pan kak kadeikada jappa?
7However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?
7Pwe ma melel en Kot pwai kida ai likam kan, pwen kalinanada i, menda i pan pakadeikada, dene dipan amen nai?
8Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!
8A jo mau on duen at indand jued, pwe akai kin inda, me dene kit kin padaki wei: Kitail en wiada me jued, pwen kareda me mau? Nan arail kalokolok me pun.
9What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.
9Iaduen atail pai mau jan arail? Kaidin, pwe je kadededar, me Juj o men Krik karoj mi pan dip,
10As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.
10Duen a intinidier: Jota me pun amen, jota amen.
11There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
11Jota me lolekon amen, jota me kin rapaki Kot.
12All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
12Karoj me japunlar, irail wiaki eu mamalar, jota meamen, me kin wiada me mau, jota amen.
13“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”
13Tapin wor arail me rajon joujou eu, me jaikenta jarep pena, lo arail me re liliapaki, wini en kamela mimi ni oton ni arail;
14“Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
14Au ar me dir en lalaue o katik,
15“Their feet are swift to shed blood;
15Na arail me marara on kamela aramaj;
16ruin and misery lie in their wake,
16Nan al arail me dir en jued omauk;
17and the way of peace they have not known.”
17A al en popol me re jaja;
18“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
18Re jota kin majak Kot.
19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
19A kitail ajaer, me kapun o lolok on, me kin papa kapun pwe au karoj en japaimokid o jappa pon lodi on kadeik en Kot.
20Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
20Ari mon Kot jota uduk me pan pun kila a wiawia kapun, pwe kapun me dip kadiarokidar;
21But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
21A anjau wet pun en Kot janjaledar likin kapun o kadedekidar kapun o jaukop akan.
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
22A pun en Kot me pwili jan pojon Iejuj Krijtuj, ap lel on karoj me pojon.
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
23Pwe jota lipilipil, karoj me wiadar dip o jota kak konodi linan en Kot.
24and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
24Irail pan pun kila a mak japan, pweki en Krijtuj Iejuj a kotin dore kitail lar,
25God presented Him as the atoning sacrifice through faith in His blood, in order to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance He had passed over the sins committed beforehand.
25Me Kot kotin kajanjaledar ni wiala mol en kalanan ni pojon nt’a, pwen kajanjaleda a pun nia kotin lapwada dip en maj akan, miier pan papadake en Kot.
26He did this to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and to justify the one who has faith in Jesus.
26A anjau wet a kotin kadededa a pun. Ieteten, me pein i me pun, ap pan kotin kapunala Karoj me pojon Iejuj.
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
27Ari, ia men juaiki? A lokidokilar! Ren kapun da? En wiawia kan? Kaidin, a ren kapun en pojon.
28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
28Ari, iet me je inda: Aramaj en pun kila pojon a kaidin wiawia en kapun kan.
29Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,
29De Kot en men Juj akan arail Kot eta? Kaidin pil Kot en men liki kan? Ei melel, pil en men liki!
30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
30Ari, Kot me ta men, me kin kapun kila me jirkomjaij akan pweki pojon, pil jojirkomjaij akan pweki pojon.
31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! Instead, we uphold the law.
31laduen, kitail kin tiakedi kapun pweki pojon? O jo! pwe kitail kin kapwaiada kapun o.
